"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Concerns over AI surveillance in schools are intensifying after armed officers swarmed a 16-year-old student outside Kenwood High School in Baltimore when an AI gun detection system falsely flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm.

Allen was handcuffed at gunpoint. Police later showed him the AI-captured image that triggered the alert. The crumpled Doritos bag in his pocket had been mistaken for a gun.

It's shocking just how biased the third is despite sounding (relatively) reasonable and unbiased. But bias is the entire nature of AI, that's the whole point: biasing a machine to transform and distill data to arrive at a desired output.

Really, the instant anything is made into a process with or without AI there's bias, and it's inescapable.

ETA: I guess what I'm getting at is

Because: Human behaviour can be fixed. With the right measurements, biased people/racists can be retrained or taken off-duty.

is bias in and of itself
